Merry Christmas Everyone ...

The little bear, which is about 3 inches tall, is one of our Christmas ornaments and made from some sort of resin. The festive bokeh comes courtesy of our tree at the far end of the living room.

For this week's Sunday Challenge, which has the theme of Christmas.

Also, for Sight and Sound. Sorry, but I couldn't resist the chance to share some Shakin' Stevens with you guys:

Merry Christmas Everyone

The Best Christmas Of Them All

Blue Christmas

I'll Be Home This Christmas

In terms of uploads to ipernity, this is actually my 2,000th item.

So it seems apt that I take this opportunity not only to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, but thank you guys once again for all your visits, comments and faves since I came across from the dark side.

Dear Doc,

Little bear is so cute and sweet and bokeh-eeee! :

Two of the links didn't work for me, but I found these that did:

The Best Christmas of All

I listened to all 4 songs and I liked them all. Never heard of Shakin' Stevens until you featured him, but I will always know him now.

I'm so glad you came over from "the dark side." Congratulations on your 2000th item and I wish you and your family a most wonderful Christmas! Your good friend and receptionist. Karen

(p.ssst. Don't forget my Christmas bonus! ;)

So glad you like the shot and the music Karen. Sorry about the links ... it must be a country thing as they all still work for me, but the second one you posted comes up as unavailable for me ... all very strange.

Anyway, glad you like Shaky. He was much aligned in many quarters for his style of music especially in the Eighties when the charts here were being taken over by New Wave, New Romantics and predominantly Electronic music.

However, I've been a huge fan since first seeing him appear on the 'Oh Boy' TV programme in the late Seventies. He also, despite his critics, went on to become the UK's biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s with 33 Top 40 hit singles: including three chart topping hits - Green Door, This Ole House and of course Merry Christmas Everyone!

Anyway, enough about the UK's very own 'Elvis' ... here's wishing you and your family all the very best for Christmas and the coming New Year! :)

Now, about that bonus ... ;)
